Goodness, it’s hard to believe that it’s December 16th already! Where DID 2010 go?

This is my last post of the year. Every year, I take a two-week “writing break” between December 15th and January 1. I use the time to recharge my creative batteries, reflect on the year – and game plan for the year ahead.

Part of my “writing break” prep involves reading and reviewing some of my old writing. While I was browsing through the 2010 blog posts. I found some cool ones that I wanted to dust off and share. If you haven’t read these before, they’re definitely worth a looksee.

Posts that seem to “hit a nerve.” Every once in awhile, I write something that causes people to jump up and say, “You too? I thought I was the only one going through that!” I may only get 10 blog comments, but I’ll receive 75 emails or more. It’s amazing (and pretty cool, too!) If you’re feeling a little squeezed, here are some posts to help jump-start your motivation:

Surviving the business dark times (Written after a really amazing chat with a fantastic copywriter. Since then, her life and business have completely turned around. I’m incredibly proud of her.)

Posts that were fun to write. Some SEO copywriting posts kept me laughing during the entire writing process., OK, it could be because I’m a bit nuts. I’ll accept that. But really, they were that fun to write. Here’s a sample:

Posts targeted towards freelance Web copywriters. Many of my SEO Copywriting Certificate students are freelance Web copywriters – so I always hear great “in the trenches” stories. Here are two posts that resulted after conversations with various copywriters.

How to explain SEO copywriting to clients (Admittedly, it drives me a little nutty when I see SEO copywriting information that clients can take the wrong way. Writing this post felt a little bit ranty – but it’s still a darn good post, IMO.)

(It’s got a great linkbait title and it’s a pretty cool post, too! No surprise it’s so popular!)

As we close out 2010, I want to thank every one of you for your readership. Your feedback, comments, tweets and emails always bring a smile to my face. Here’s hoping that 2011 will bring you health, wealth and happiness.
